in attendance upon them what is called a general store keeper the pay of whom is from four to five dollars per day the product of taxation on this whole number of 1,654 small distil leries in north carolina is 451,194 the total amount of taxation collect ed by the internal revenue deprrt ment in the state of north carolina amounts to 2,377,116 a f which 1,925,922 is derived from tobacco leaving 8451,194 as the product of these small distilleries of grain and fruit 1 will give the senate in a moment the cost of running these small distil leries and of collecting the revenue from them for the past year end ing june 30 1883 the amount col lected iu the sixth collection district alone the one in which the greatest number of small distilleries is to be found was 456,864,16 the cost of collecting that last year was 190 284 } 2g or about 40 per cent of this 456,864,16 i have not the exact means of determining what portion is attributable to tobacco and what to spirits for the tobacco product and the spirits product are not separated in the report of the commissioner of internal revenue for the districts as they are for the state but from my personal knowledge of the manufac tories of tobacco which are situated in that district i am quite sure that the amount of money collected from the spirits alone would not pay the cost of its collection in the year 1881 the amount col lected in that district was 499,455 08 and the cost of collecting it was 268,324 or about 57 per cent and when the cost of suits in court and of prosecutions and of all the legal pro ceedings attendant upon the execu tion of the law is taken into consider ation the cost in that district of col lecting the tax on both whisky and tobacco was about 90 per cent as placed by the estimate of the com missioner of internal revenue and taking out the tobacco proceeds the cost of collecting the spirit tax of that district was far mote than the tax itself to show you that this system is used not for the purpose of revenue but for the purpose of maintaining an army of officeholders who answer a very convenient and satisfactory pur pose about election tin es i wili read the cost of collecting the internal rev enue since 1s78 in that district and show what years there was a general election held and ask senators to note the difference for the year ending june 30th 1878 the amount collected in the sixth collection district of north car olina was 252,288,24 the cost of collecting it was 857,541,47 or about 25 per cent that year there was no election in 1879 the amount col lected was 338,659,93 being an in crease of about 30 per cent on the amount collected and the cost of col lecting was 136,987,05 being an in crease of nearly 300 per cent in the cost of collecting that was the elec tion year for the year ending june 30 1880 the amount collected was 455,457 and the cost of collecting was 182,172,70 there was no elec tion that year for the year ending june 30 l881 the amount collected was 499,455,08 and the cost of col lecting was 268,324 or about 57 per cent as 1 have said before there was an election that year for the year ending june 30 1882 the amount col lected was 508,174,32 the cost of collecting which was 159,970,36 there was no election that year no election for the fiscal year ending june 30 1882 so in that case there was an increase of only 9,000 in the amount collected and there was a decrease of 106,000 in the cost of collection as compared with the cost of the preced ing election year the amount col lected for the fiscal year e^ling june 30 l883 was 456,864,17 and the â€¢ ost of collecting was 190,284,26 as j have before said this covered the election year of 882 embracing the period of tlii j'all of 1882 when the elections were held if anything more were needed to show that this whole machinery was used down there in the state of north carolina for purely political purposes and as a means of relieving the cam paign committees of the expense of hiring men out of their own pockets for tho purpose of canvassing let me further read about the appointment of officers in that same district in the fiscal year ending june 30 1881 which peri ui covered no election the total number of officers reported was three hundred and thirty-nine of whom seven were special deputies for the fiscal year ending june :$(>. 1881 which period covered the state and national elections the number of officers was four hundred and twenty-seven of which number fifty-four were special deputies for tlie fiscal year ending . i une 30 1882 a period which covered no political election the number of officers shrank down to three hundred and ten and the number of special deputies shrank down to nine although tlie records show that there had been a steady increase in the number of small distilleries and there ought to have been if honestly administered an increase in the officers in proportion i have already read the expenses of collecting in 1878 there were paid to the character of officers called guagers onlv 3,937,31 ; for the year ending june 30 1879 2,228,20 ; for the year ending june 30 1880 3,519,09 ; for the vear ending june 30 1881 8,306 48 and for the year ending june 30 1882 10,897.50 the amount paid to storekeepers in the same period for the war ending june 30 1878 was 28 j ir>2 ; for the year ending june 30 1879 98,757 : for the year ending june 30 1880 161,412 ; for the year ending june 30 1881 201,395 that covered the year of the presidential election in 1880 for the year ending june 30 1882 the amount paid to storekeepers was 1 1 5,567 so it goes up or it goes down just as the exigen cies of the party may require and the revenue takes care of itself the object of the department being to take case of the elections senator vance then continued at some length to show the evils of the system how burdensome it was to the people of north carolina and how the provision passed by the democratic house would make it more acceptable to the people he strongly opposed the senate amendment but notwith standing his forcible speech the re publicans of the senate voted down the house proposition and inserted the senate amendment the july north american review contains quite a number of papers in which the problem of the negro at 1 he south is discussed from various standpoints among them are arti cles by senators vance aud morgan and others by fred douglas aud prof greener every view is pre sented most of tlie articles make reference to the rapid increase of the colored race as indicated by the cen | sus figures as we pointed out when i mr gilliam's article was published i the census of 1870 is incorrect and ! any calculations based on it are vi ' cious and erroneous there has been ' no such enormous increase among the negroes as the eensus tables show but the race is increasing rapidly and not dying out present conditions are however more favorable to tlie i prosperity of the negro than can be j expected in years to come when our population becones dense the ne i gro element will cease to increase from i causes that have produced the same effect in all ages of the world had there been no such influences to check the growth of population the world would long since have been peopled beyond its capacity to sustain life but history proves that the inferior race in any composite community af ter reaching a certain turning point declines and in the course of ages dis appears and so when the popula tion of north carolina shall reach many millions and poverty and suf fering shall make themselves factors the survival of the fittest will be the law of existence and the inferior race will fall into decay for many years yet to come there will be room for all and labor can find ready employment and suffering will play no part in ar resting the increase of population but when the point of overpopulation is reached as it surely will be the ! negro will feel its influence more posi tively than the whites and the anglo saxon will survive while the african race will dwindle it will be centu ries before this turniug point is reach ed ; but when say fifteen or twenty i millions of people are to be supported \ by the products of our state this uni | versal law of nature will come into j operation disease and the difficulty j of obtaining work will interpose to i prevent a continued increase and the weaker and less provident race will gradually diminish and eventually pass away â€” news observer struck oil â€” a whale got on the shoal water of the sea beach on the coast

amendment the july north american review contains quite a number of papers in which the problem of the negro at 1 he south is discussed from various standpoints among them are arti cles by senators vance aud morgan and others by fred douglas aud prof greener every view is pre sented most of tlie articles make reference to the rapid increase of the colored race as indicated by the cen | sus figures as we pointed out when i mr gilliam's article was published i the census of 1870 is incorrect and ! any calculations based on it are vi ' cious and erroneous there has been ' no such enormous increase among the negroes as the eensus tables show but the race is increasing rapidly and not dying out present conditions are however more favorable to tlie i prosperity of the negro than can be j expected in years to come when our population becones dense the ne i gro element will cease to increase from i causes that have produced the same effect in all ages of the world had there been no such influences to check the growth of population the world would long since have been peopled beyond its capacity to sustain life but history proves that the inferior race in any composite community af ter reaching a certain turning point declines and in the course of ages dis appears and so when the popula tion of north carolina shall reach many millions and poverty and suf fering shall make themselves factors the survival of the fittest will be the law of existence and the inferior race will fall into decay for many years yet to come there will be room for all and labor can find ready employment and suffering will play no part in ar resting the increase of population but when the point of overpopulation is reached as it surely will be the ! negro will feel its influence more posi tively than the whites and the anglo saxon will survive while the african race will dwindle it will be centu ries before this turniug point is reach ed ; but when say fifteen or twenty i millions of people are to be supported \ by the products of our state this uni | versal law of nature will come into j operation disease and the difficulty j of obtaining work will interpose to i prevent a continued increase and the weaker and less provident race will gradually diminish and eventually pass away â€” news observer struck oil â€” a whale got on the shoal water of the sea beach on the coast
